I have fallen in love with my Trikke, Black Birdie, many times over. I fell in love with her when I finally learned how to carve. I fell deeper in love when I learned to trust the lean (well — leaning for me). This last weekend I fell even deeper when I took my first Trikke trip to the central coast of California. A newbie to our local carving group,…

Pat Bushman is 50 pounds lighter and still losing weight! We often believe things didn’t exist until we discovered them. This was the case with my introduction to the Trikke, but since discovering this quirky machine, I’ve become a devoted disciple, preaching the benefits and fun to everyone I know. It’s good that riding a Trikke is a little quirky because I’m something of a quirky person. I couldn’t help…

This article was originally published on Randy Boyd’s Blocks under the title “10 Things I Learned While Trikking.“ 10. A moderate Trikke ride in cold, crappy weather is better than any workout inside a cold, crappy gym. 9. Carving uphill or against a good stiff wind does wonders for the arms. 8. Even though “looks like a lot of hard work” is a comment often heard while carving, riding my…

“It makes me feel like a kid with a new toy!” I bought a Trikke carving vehicle so could have something to ride when I took my two boys to the park or to practice. I got so much more! My first few days of riding were fun but tough. I felt I wasn’t getting “it,” so I looked up “Trikke” on the internet and found SouthBay Trikke, which was…

The following note was posted on the Trikke Facebook page. It’s a story its author, Marcy Scardino, calls “My journey with Trikke.” I got my Trikke in 2007 for Christmas after seeing it on a late night infomercial. I had never seen one of these used before, never met anyone who had heard of it, and got so frustrated with trying to learn it while dealing with nay sayers that it…

East Texas woman’s Trikke went from wheelchair substitute to fitness machine. I am disabled; I walk with a cane and a limp, but I feel like Supergirl when I’m flyin’ down the trail on my Trikke! In August, 2000, one simple sneeze finished off what a childhood injury started and a disc in my lower back literally blew up. Four failed back surgeries later, I found myself with a laundry…

Story originally published on Jan 31, 2011 I am a Trikker. Two years ago this time, I had no idea there was such a thing called a Trikke. Then I saw the last fifteen minutes of an infomercial. Shiny, happy people were riding some kind of newfangled bike, having the time of their lives, beaming like individual rays of golden sunlight. Two years ago this time, that fifteen minutes forever…

Senior citizen wrote 20 scripts before choosing winning submission. His video has been a big hit in carving circles, receiving a good number of positive comments on both Facebook and YouTube, and winning a testimonial contest conducted by Trikke Tech in 2011. [See video at the end of this story.] Yet Larry Mehlmauer is mostly unaware of the attention and adulation his lone web video has received. After all, the…

“I hate exercise. I really hate it. I’ve tried everything from rowing machines to stationary bikes to elliptical machines. The Trikke is truly a miracle machine.” Larry Mehlmauer is having a second childhood, quite a miracle, considering he’s 70 years-old. Factor in a host of health challenges — including a massive heart attack and diabetes — and some might call that more than a miracle. “I’m having more fun than…

“I have been married for 32 years to the same woman and never once thought of upgrading. It’s not even been a month and I’m on my third Trikke.” Hi, my name is Paul and I am a Trikke-o-holic. I need just one more ride. How did I get hooked on Trikkes, you ask? It all started one day when I met a pusher on the beach named Randy Boyd…
